SIM 5.0 & SMI-S - EVA

Hi All.

Anyone had any success getting SMI-S/EVA working on SIM5? I have installed the provider on our SMA and can see the provider from the SIM server using wbemdisco (but only on 5988 NOT 5989) including the SAN's. WBEMCAP also works well (again under 5988 only)

Problem is - nothing I do from SIM, discovery, event registration, WMI proxy configuration etc will get the SIM console to show any details of the storage system. The SIM and SMA are on the same VLAN so there is no firewall action going on. SIM can see our tape libraries (as storage devices). I have the same user/password combo in the WBEM section of the global protocols as the WBEMCAP GUI.

Can anyone suggest something else to try. Is there a log of some sorts that shows what discovery is actually doing?

Thanks Rob,

That got it going in the end. Problem is there are 2 passwords. One is the System management homepage password - which is also the same as the "Legacy password" - which is also the same as the "EVA API Password"

And then there is the SMI-S user password. Once I figured you needed to set these 2 to be the same and configure the WBEM settings in SIM... It all came together.

These multiple password locations really P...me off. RSM has yet another PW as well. In the end I'm just using one User/PW combination for the lot.

Has anyone got the SMI-S providers for McData switches running yet

Cheers

Tony
